spiCEYLETTER FROM PRESCOTT
The Legislators and Administration at
 LogEerheads-
PREscoTT, Feb. End.

PREsCoTT, Feb. End. ED. Things have been very
 much upset in tbe legislature during
 the last few dave, The lawor house satis-
 fed themselves tha; the Governor in-
 tended 10 appoint Tom Parish Comm.s-
 sioner Of Immigration, snd they decided to ab1lIsh the Clice. which bill theypassed
 on the 3lst by a vote of - BRainst |. The Governor had minated to some of
 the democrats, when this move was meL- toned to him, tina. he wished they
 would abolish the office, 1t would save
 him the trouble of appointing anyone.
 and some of the democrats really thought he meant IL: out the subsequent
 actions of the Governors office entirely
 dispelled that impression. YesieriGy morning, every one was anxious 10 see
 what tine council would do with the bal and variOus predictions were made. IT
 was thought that a- this was an econOm- iual measure, and gs Blum and othtr democrats had before expressed them s.lves 10 favor of the most rigid ecOn- omy that they could not consistently op- pose this. bu. such was no. the cGse. As soon ae the clerk finished reading the bill. Geo n. Stevens moved to refer it l to the committee on Territorial affairs which is composed of three strong administration men. Drake imme- digtely offered Hs substitute that Int be referred to the committee on ways and means, which was carried. | This did not suit Stevens, and be moved call of the house. Anderson and Corn wall beng absent, the Sergt.-at Arms soon f0aud Anderson, and as soon ss he entered She door Stevens buttonholed hun and commenced whispering to him. | The result was that Anderson moved | to lay the bill on tue table, winch was carried. Cornwall had been excused on
 account Of sickness. After adjournment | it was cOmical Co see Parrish tOggIng ' Blinn and Stevens around with such pIteous look in his face; fat office was
 at stake, and the poor fellow was nearly wild. Stevens and Biinn comiOrtsd him ! all they could. and the whole Rdminis- | tration outfit commenced pulling wires. | This morning, without taking the bIll Cil the table where II had been placed l yesterday, Blinn moved to refer 1t to the committee on territorial affairs, and car ] ried It The bill now slumbers with the committee. and will likely die there l You will observe that it is rather a see saw arrangement; the Governors side
 was under yesterday. but is on top to- l day; other developments are looked for Parrish is very bitter against the Pima
 delegation, and his crowd are now trying c. abolish the University and the Supt.
 of Public Instruction because the Pima
 boys are solid for Hughes for Commis- sio-cr, and uzei every means for bis appointment. ~-gcrat articles appeared
 in th5 Courier, sGii Jo have becn writ-
 ten by Parrish, in which he plainly shows how ugly he feels towards Tucson and Pima co rty; also !n the first article is
 r5teciICn on tle Arizona PiOuesrs-a forlety whom Es ai. ir-l proud of.
 Now that Var has commenced ID the
 two h1us s, there is no knowing where
 it will end, but # i7 Co be hoped that some good legislation w!ll be accom-
 Uiished. Ole of thc bright young dem ccTats in the Hcuse is F. J. Trippel, of GIla. Que Of the correspondents in
 speaking of nis vote on the electric tcle-
 graph hIll. stated ihas he was a stCck- holder in ;he line from Globe Co San Carlos, bC. such is not the case, Mir.
 vrippei and Mr. DorGn, 0f piral, have
 nlcc suite ot rooms, keep open house. and are a.-sa-s glad C. see their friends. The code coEui-s.nI are siiii c5iai'ug
 away and lock ove5-wufkCi. The tine
 gwen them Co complete their compila-
 ton was altoCeth.r too sh0r. and the |
 chances sge they will not be able Co do l
 it Gs thoroughly as they would Ike 10. !
 X memorial irou both houses a-king !
 the president Co appoint Zen Goodrich 1
 as Chisf Justice, was forwarded this 1
 morning. He is very popular Lers and !
 his appointment would give general sat Isiact!Ou. The new Probate Court bill |
 will be introduced shortly. but If it pass es Ht all, it will be hy a close Vote. Ya- vapai is ishtiHg her cuCa.y division, l but it looks gs though some of 1t would l have to go. T.
